I'm not one to give credit where credit isn't due (talking about my Wolfpack here)... but I feel better about State than I did after our red-white game. We missed 17 free throws (we can work on that), and we still scored 96 points. And TJ Warren missed a point blank layup and Tyler Lewis missed both free throws in the final minute. Make those and we break 100, despite all the missed free throws.

As much as I wanted to be mad that Pembroke kept it close, we have to give them credit. They hustled, and they shot well, even their most contested shots were falling. We didn't play bad defense is what I'm saying. UNCP shot well, and they rebounded well because they packed the lane with rebounders. But they paid the price for that by giving us better fast-break opportunities.

It was actually a pretty good game I thought. I wouldn't be surprised if that team beat some teams this year, maybe even the Holes tomorrow night. Especially if they actually keep PJ Hairston "suspended". I hope UNC-P didn't waste all their best effort on us last night. Save some for the Holes, boys!!!

No doubt. When I think basketball, UNCP is one of the first programs that comes to mind.

Missed free throws? That's kind of ringing a bell. Where have I seen that before? hmmmmmm.....
